As far as video game prototypes go their arrival online in a playable form is usually thanks to community efforts and generous individuals. On the rare occasion though, developers who have worked on long lost titles occasionally surface to showcase their efforts - with the latest being the team behind the unreleased Sony PlayStation Portable title Saint’s Row: Undercover.

Having been cancelled in 2009, Volition’s portable take on the Saint’s Row series was due to take place between the events of the first and second game. Their idea was to ultimately create a similar experience to the portable Grand Theft Auto titles by minifying the open-world experience. Although the game reached a playable point in development, the game was soon after canned due to not meeting the board’s requirements.

As of today though, Volition have teamed up with video game historians Unseen64 to gift retro gamers the chance to finally experience this cancelled Sony PSP release. Arriving as 431mb ISO file gamers with modded PlayStation Portable handhelds can drop this game onto their MemorySticks whilst everyone else can give the game a spin in the PPSSPP emulator.
